Most of my photographs are about me and my family, our shared experiences, and the complexities that persist across generations—outlasting even poverty. Growing up in and out of foster care, I often felt disconnected from the very idea of family. Even after starting my own, that sense of distance lingered.
Being poor shaped nearly every choice we made, and like many raised in unstable homes, our relationships were fragile, held together by routine rather than security. We lived inside a cycle—doing the same things even when we imagined something else.
